Watching the Medhi Hasan aftermath interview. He said he was surprised "alt-right conservatives" were fascists. They've been calling themselves that for at LEAST 8 years now, definitely back when Richard Spencer got clocked in the face. How did he not see that coming?

There have always been, and unfortunately always will be, antisemites among us. But latent antisemitism is not why so many Americans--especially the young--are turning against Israel. It's the unbelievable cruelty and brutality.

We Need To Stop Calling It 'Alligator Alcatraz' — That's Exactly What Trump Wants "No, we’re not calling it Alligator Alcatraz. It’s a Florida concentration camp," one prominent copy editor said.

When the president calls alligators “cops” and jokes that the animals are cheaper than hiring guards, he’s turning state cruelty into entertainment and making ICE officers’ work more palpable to the public

My story today on the vice signaling we've seen w/the new Florida Everglades detention center

Gonna push myself to use the term "Reckless Citation" instead of "AI Hallucinations" where it makes sense to.

Just woke up from a nap. What a beautiful day! The sun is shining and a long weekend is ahead of me. I wonder what Congress is up to.

Oh no. Oh God no.

Once the next Democratic president starts issuing Executive Orders you’ll see the court correct this with lightning speed.

The thing about Zohran Mamdani is that he is not an Islamist, but a regime leftist who understands that the symbols of the exotic Other are an extremely valuable currency within the world of the radical Left. He was able to very skillfully combine the outward appearance of the X X | Today at 2:00 PM

By the way in Zohran's particular case he is clearly not defined by being from Uganda or India but from being essentially from nowhere, a floating elite class global citizen with no loyalty to a place or its people, which is why he didn't bother to get American citizenship until he wanted to run for office. This makes him unfit to serve as mayor in my view, which I'm sure the screeches will call "raaaaacist" or whatever but I don't care.

So true I don't even care about his "policies" which are comically retarded to the point that it might be fun to fuck around and find out, I just find his third world entitlement and nice guy act to be transparent and spiritually antagonistic and have zero respect for anyone who falls for it •.. Jo @junker_jo • 10h Mamdani creeps me out because I can see right through him to the foreign striver willing to say anything to appeal to an "emerging market demographic". I don't really care about my tax dollars going to "free groceries" in the scheme of all the other ridiculous shit I pay for.

There’a a whole class of Zohran take out there right now that is just “I am upset that a foreigner is also handsome and charismatic”

JUSTICE JACKSON, dissenting. Standing is a constitutional doctrine meant to promote judicial restraint. By design, it “ ‘prevent[s] the judicial process from being used to usurp the powers of the political branches’ ” and “helps safeguard the Judiciary’s proper— and properly limited—role in our constitutional system.” United States v. Texas, 599 U. S. 670, 675–676 (2023). But standing doctrine cannot serve that important purpose if the Judiciary fails to apply it evenhandedly. When courts adjust standing requirements to let certain litigants challenge the actions of the political branches but preclude suits by others with similar injuries, standing doctrine cannot perform its constraining function. Over time, such selectivity begets judicial overreach and erodes public trust in the impartiality of judicial decisionmaking. Today’s ruling runs the risk of setting us down that path. The Court shelves its usual case-selection standards to revive a fuel-industry lawsuit that all agree will soon be moot (and is largely moot already). And it rests its decision on a theory of standing that the Court has refused to apply in cases brought by less powerful plaintiffs. This case gives fodder to the unfortunate perception that moneyed interests enjoy an easier road to relief in this Court than ordinary citizens. Because the Court had ample opportunity to avoid that result, I respectfully dissent.

Justice Jackson, dissenting in the California/EPA/electric vehicles case, did not hold back: "This case gives fodder to the unfortunate perception that moneyed interests enjoy an easier road to relief in this Court than ordinary citizens."

Mad as hell that people see em-dashes and immediately think "Oh, that person is using ChatGPT". I just fucking love em-dashes.

Donald Trump is gonna be so desperate for a friend that was probably also at an Epstein party after this Elon breakup that he’s gonna pardon P Diddy within a week or so.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court affirmed the Oklahoma Supreme Court's decision to block a religious public charter school.

This is a victory for the separation of church and state.

oof

It's only a gestapo if it comes from the Staatspolizei region of Germany. Everything else is merely sparkling secret police.

I shouldn't have laughed at this

At this point, Con Law professors are just teaching pataphysics.

Incredible paragraph. "He blamed schools."

Not the rampant criminality and lawlessness among his political party, much of which he personally enabled, all of which he has remained silent about and has refused to take any action to stop.

No, that's not the problem to Roberts. "He blamed schools."

hear me out

what if we *neither* unconstitutionally accepted jets from a foreign nation *nor* kept throwing the jets we already have in the ocean?

Pope Leo XIV urges release of imprisoned journalists, affirms gift of free speech and press Pope Leo XIV has called for the release of imprisoned journalists and affirmed the “precious gift of free speech and the press.”

Pope Leo XIV expressed solidarity with imprisoned journalists and affirmed the “precious gift of free speech and the press.” He spoke in an audience with some of the 6,000 journalists who descended on Rome to cover his election as the first American pontiff.

in the eyes of both Black & white folks if i’m being real.

Pope Leo XIV's grandparents were 7th Ward Creoles The newly elected pontiff, born in Chicago, has ancestral ties to the city’s historic Seventh Ward, according to genealogists at The Historic New Orleans Collection.

I didn’t give a wit about new pope coverage, but the first American pope being a man with Black ancestry born in Chicago by way of New Orleans by way of Haiti. Names his self after the pope who condemned slavery? In the Trump era? Oh, baebae, I am HERE for it.

I'm so thankful that Marc Lamont Hill is on the Joe Budden Podcast.

Okay, it's genuinely good news that they're resisting, but I can't believe the NYT has Harvard at the top of the page and not "Trump defies Supreme Court" or "Trump plans to send Americans to foreign gulags"

The gates of Harvard University. The text reads: "Harvard Says It Will Not Comply With Trump Administration's Demands." Photo by Sophie Park for The New York Times.

“No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” Alan Garber, Harvard’s president, said about President Trump's demands. nyti.ms/4jzSS9W

screenshot from a news item about the cuts being undertaken in services: "Mr. Kennedy is also eliminating entire but lesser known parrts of his department, such as the Administration for Community Living, which supports programs that help older Americans and people with disabilities live independently. Advocates for disability rights say the cuts could deprive the most vulnerable Americans of housing, personal care and other services."

there aren't any words for how much I hate the people doing this. I wish every harm upon them, it is right and just to pray for such harm

Gang members should not be disappeared to an unaccountable torture prison either.

The program seems to work especially well on the associates!

Breaking development in Legal AI shakes industry, provides Skadden and Paul Weiss with backbone.
